SECRETARY (PRO TEM.) Frederick Wilkins, Esp. The Company is formed as an auxiliary to the Great Financial Associations recently established. It is not the province of these Institutions to carry out the public works contemplated in the concessions they ob tain. They are therefore compelled to seek the co-opera tion of contractors whose capital and position offer an un deniable guarantee for the completion of the works, thus relieving the financial associat ions of that responsibility. The constantly increasing scale on which public works of all kinds are carried out, and the immense capital involved, place them beyond the reach of individual contractors un less supported by joint-stock enterprise. This company has, therefore, been formed for the pur pose of undertaking the execution of great public works, and arrangements ave been entered into with well known contractors, by whic h h contracts to the amount of £11,000,000 sterling will be turned over to the Company. Among other contracts handed over to the Company is that for the construction of the European Central Railway, Which has been secured on favourable terms, and will be commenced forthwith. The active services of an eminent Contractor, whose busi ness has been secured, will be retained to execute the work on terms highly advantageous to the Company, he retaining a large interest in the Company by receiving payment for the transfer of his contracts in Shares with £5 only credited thereon. It is well known that many undertakings of great com mercial value have hitherto remained in abeyance for want of Contractors who can command the necessary resources to ensure their completion. This Company, combining the in fluence of a large su b scr ib e d capital, extensive fi nancial co operations at home and abroad, with administrative experi ence and ability, will secure such an amount of confidence on the part of governments, public bodies, and the great financial institutions, as will enable it to command an ex tensive business on favourable terms. Prospectuses, with forms of application , ma y be obtained at the Offices of the Company, also from the Brokers, Soli citors, and Bankers. In the event of no allotment being made the deposits will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposits will be made available towards the payment on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant. •_ . - THE INTERNATIONAL CONTRACT COMPANY (Limited).

This Company has for its purpose the transaction of the important and remunerative business of Fire Insurance, and that only, to the exclusion of other branches of busi ness not unusually associated with it, under the same direc tion, and operating o n one . and the same c a p ital. The Directors are satisfied that the scope for the business of fire insurance presented by this country and its of dependenciesount , la, as a commercial s p eculation, deserving param attention ; and, the contrac t bein g one terminable annually, the profits or loss arising determin an like m financial position and its resources. While the partial remission of the fire insurance duty now in the contemplation of Government, and applicable only to the insurance of stock-in-trade, will afford a com paratively limited relief fro m the onerous oppression for , the Directors have resolved to a llow u p on payment policy, and afterwards at each renewal, an immediate draw back, which, in many instances, will amount to a total ex. Unction of the entire duty of t hree shillings per cent. To the public at large, and to the greater proportion of the manufacturing and mercantile community, this arrange ment will prove a highly acceptable advantage. The draw back allowed by a few of the older offices by way of per tentage on premiums, at intervals of years, is of im portance only to those who are r ated at p remiums ranging chicly from one guinea per cent. upwards, and is partici pated in only by those who may have premiums to be re newed at th© period of the making of these returns ; whereas by the principle adopted by this Company, the owners of the classes of risk of the more ordinary occurrence, are they who will be the more substantially and at the same time promptly benefited. The concession to be thus made to the publio will cer taint), be the means not only of increasing in their respec tive a mounts insuranc es now existing, but of multiplying to a very large extent the number of insurance contracts in this country and its colonial connections. The insurable property in this kingdom alone, including its enormous and increasing importations arising from the Wise interchange of tariffs, is believed to approximate to £5,000,060,000, whereas £1,300,000,000 only is insured ; thus leaving nearly three fourths of the insurable amount altogether unprotected from loss. It would be difficult to fin d any class of investments wh i c h has yielded such large profits as the shares of well-con ducted fire offices. The shares of thin lder offi cease, s have in creased in value immensely, being, one cat a pre taium of about 1,300, and in an other of nearly 2,000 per cent, on the sums originally paid up. The increased ed value of the sh ares of offices established within the lyears tands at from 80 to 200 per cent. s It is under these circumstances, and considering the im mense field presented for operations to come, that the dir tors h ave ta k en a d va ntage of so favourable an opportunity t ..° offer to the public the benefits of the principle of business now adopted by them; and they have every reason to believe that by its special feature and the public support Which that must necessarily invite the undertaking will Speedily be productive of the best monetary results. The executive will be entrusted to officers of tried experi encein the business of fire insurance , and the director s have already en matured arrangements for the immediate establish ment of five hundred agencies. The directors desire to give the most unqualified assur ance to the public that nothing of the nature of frivolous _-objections to a prompt and liberal settlement of c laims for irm ist rnsation will ever be entertained or countenanced by Forms cf application for shares may be had at the offices °f the In the Company, or of the Brokers, Bankers, or Solicitors. event of no allotment being m ade, the de posit will be returned in full.

This Company has been formed to meet the wants of the large and increasing trade between Liverpool and the St. Lawrence, the 'existing means of steam communication being altogether inadequate. Montreal is second only to New York as a port of export on the Atlantic seaboard of North America. The trade returns exhibit an increase in the business of the port of 100 per cent. in eight years, during which period there has been no increase whatever in steamship tonnage between Liverpool and Montreal. Liverpool receives a much larger proportion of the ex ports from the St. Lawrence than all the other porta of the United Kingdom, and it is from Liverpool that about four fifths of the imports into Canada are shipped, and while there are two lines of screw steam ers now running between Glasgow and the St. Lawrence (a much inferior route both as regards passengers and freights), there is only one line running between Liverpool and the St. Lawrence. It is well known that the profits of steamships between Liverpool and Montreal are very large, and there can be no doubt, item the great increase of the trade, that by careful and economical management, the earnings of this Company will yield a profitable return to the shareholders. The Com pany has received promises of support from most of the lead ing firms in Canada; 3,000 shares are reserved for allotment in the colony. 'I he River St. Lawrence is the natural outlet of the trade, not only of Canada, but of all the great western States adjoining the lakes of North America. The grain producing power of these States is so enormous that Chi cago, which in 1854 shipped 12,863,912 bushels, in 1862 shipped 55,477,104 bushels of grain, besides vast quantities of provisions. Tho total quantity of grain from these western States, which now seeks a market by way of the lakes, is 15,000,000 quarters, and the annual increase is at the rate of 10 per cent. The north- west has arrived at a point of production be yond any possible capacity for transportation except by the great natural outlet. It annually crowds canals and rail ways with over 100,000,000 bushels of grain, besides im mense quantities of provisions, and this increasing business cannot be maintained without recourse to that natural out let of the lakes, the River St. Lawrence. By reason of the perishable nature of wheat and flour, and the loss sustained by heating on the long voyages of sailing ships, steamers always command a high rate of freight in this trade, In consequence of the magnitude of the business, no un due competition need be entered into with the Allan line, and the first-class passenger traffic, which its ships are specially adapted to carry, will not be interfered with by this Company. It is proposed to build a fleet of screw steamers, of about 2,000 tons, of large carrying capacity, and of moderate but sufficient power. Such vessels can be built at a relatively much smaller cost than whore high speed is required ; they can be sailed more economically, and offer equal ad vantages to shippers of merchandise and to steerage and intermediate passengers, who, from their greater number and less expensive mode of transport, are much more pro fitable than first-class passengers. No provisional or other contracts have been entered into with shipbuilders or others, and the Directors are free to buy in the beat and cheapest markets. The Directors are not entering upon an untried business, but are providing for the necessities of a trade which calls for an increase of steamship tonnage, and which has proved largely remunerative to the existing Company. It is intended to commence a fortnightly service each way, to be increased to a weekly line, calling at Queens town, as soon as vessels can be got ready. During the season when the St. Lawrence is closed the boats will run to Portland, which is now the great centre of the winter import and export trade of Canada, and where, by means of the rand Tunk Railway a very large export of pro visions, &c. G , from r the western , States is now car ried on. No promotion money will be paid, and the preliminary expenses will consist solely of the actual necessary disburse ments and legal charges. o f Application for Shares (to be re tained b y the bankers).

This Company is est Wished in order to afford to theagents and connections of the Albert Ltfe Assurance Company, founded in 1838, an opportunity to combine the transaction of Fire and Marine Insurance with that of Lite Assurance. The Albert Life Assurance Company has a share capital of £500,000 fully subscribed, and has as income from premiums of upwards of £250,000 par annum, and during the last three years has issued new policies or assurance to the amount of £2,573,979, the premiums upon which amount to £108,558. FIRE DEPARTMENT. The Agents, Policyholders, and Shareholders of the Albert Life Company necessarily form a connection of the most influential character for a Fire and liar/tie Insurance Com pany. The annual increase in the wealth of the country and in t hat description of property known as " Insurable Property," has suggested the formation of several new Fire Insurance Offices, but the Directors of this Company believe that in very few instances has a Fire Company started with the same chances of success as attend the introduction of this. The Company will have the advantage of the co-operation Of a trained and perfectly organised system of agents, and the Directors submit, therefore, th .t there there is a certainty of securing almost at once a large ani profitable business. The Chancellor of the Exchequer having intimated his in tention to reduce the duty one-half on stock in trade, a large additional number of fire insurances will, no doubt, be effected by persons who have hitherto been deterred from insuring for the full value of their stock by reason of the heavy duty. The following table shows the present value of the shares of those Fire Companies which are in alliance with LifeCom panics : a, Annual la 0 vidted pld. qv .= Di a tf, s.' 10 06i per et l bonus' 20 065 per et. 10 040 per ct 50 036 per ct 2 021 perc 12 10 20 per ct , 6 510 per ct. if Nun 100 0.14 per et 5'1514 per et 4 bonus 2 10;11 per et. MARINE DEPARTMNT. Notwithstanding the recent establishment of several ma rine insurance companies, and the extinsive business they have acquired, there is ample rcom for tIP safe and profitable e mployment of capital in this di rec ti on . The vast increase in the shipping interest of the United Kingdom, together with the growing feeling in favour of the security afforded by Joint Stook Companies as compared w ith ovate Underwriters, point to the opening whi ch exists for this department of the Lompany's operations. The services of an able and experlened Underwriter will be secured, and a large busines s can a t Gm be obtained for the Company.

The Company has been formed for purchasing and ex tending the well-known iron ship-building establishment of Messrs. Martin Samuelson and Co., of HulL The capabilities of these works are unsurpassed by any in the kingdom—they occupy 11 acres of ground, with water frontage to the river Humber and river Hull, having a depth of water of 30 feet. The present iron chip-building power of the establishment is equal to the construction of 20,003 tons per annum, at which rate the works are now being carried on. Messrs. Samuelson and Company have orders on hand for ships ex ceeding 20,000 tons ; other large orders are offered, and it is proposed to take 11 acres of land adjoining the present yard, and which Messrs. Samuelson and Company rave secured, so as to extend the works to meet the large daily increasing profitable demand for ships, and to erect rolling mills for the manufacture of the iron required for ship builaing, as well as for all kinds of railway and engineering works. In addition to the engineering works, foundry, and ship building yards, there is a patent slip for repairing ships of the largest class. This is a highly profitable part of the busi ness. The demand for the use of this patent slip has been such that it has never been unemployed since Messrs. Samuel win and Company constructed it at a considerable cost some years ago. The situation of this establishment gives it special advan tages over others of a like distracter. The pri e of sh►p-build. ing labour is lower at Hull than in any of the iron ship building ports of the kingdom; it is in the great iron district of Yorkshire; coal is cheap, railways run into the works, and connect them with all parts of England. Freights are very moderate from Hull, and the large timber trade of Hull offers advantages for the purchase of the timber, which is used in large quantities, on highly advantageous con ditions. Two thousand workmen are now employed at the works. The present orders in hand for ships, engines, and general engineering work amount to above £300,000, all at very remu nerative prices. Reports made by some of the most eminent engineers who have examined the works, and who are specially acquainted with this branch of manufacture, show that atter making large allowances-3) per cent. - off the capabilities of the worms, the trade will, with the judicious management and employment of the capital, ret urn a dividend of 20 per cent. and upwards to the shareholders, and if the works continue to be fully employed, a much larger amount. Tha te.ms oft urchase are highly advantageous ; the plant and machinery, buildings, freehold and leasehold premises, together with al the stock of materials, are to taken at the valuation of two engineers, one named by the Company and the other by the vendors, with an umpire in the usual way. The goodwill of the business, including the profit on works in hand, is to he paid for at one year's pur chase of the net profits, but on an average of three yeare' working. In the event of no allotment being made, the deposits will be returned in fu 1. Should a less number of shares be al otted than is applied for, the deposit will be made available towards the paym nt on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Comp , ity, 21, Threadneedle-street, and 80, Lombard-street, and OS the Brokers and Solicitors.

HERNE'S OAK.—So late as last summer Herne's Oak, understood to be the tree referred to by She.k. spore in the "Merry Wives of Windsor," was still one of the chief objects of interest in Windsor Park. It had ceased to put out leaves for more than half a century, and its sapless trunk was hollowed out by gradual decay to a height of 10 or 12 feet from the ground. On a quiet evening in August last the crumbling support gave way, and the heavy upper branches fell with a crash to the ground. Her Majesty gave directions that all the solid timber they contained should be preserved, and of it various articles have since been made as relics of the venerable tree, famous even in the time of Queen Elizabeth for its age and size, Among the most interesting of the objects formed of the wood are two busts of Shakepere, recently carved by Mr. Parry, of 5, North Andley-street; one for the Queen and the other for the Prince of Wales. The artist has adopted the costume of the Stratford bust. He has, how ever, made use not only of that, but of the portraits in his representation of the poet's features and general appearance. He was supposed to be about 30 years of age when the por traits were taken, and to have been represented at the age of 52 in the Stratford met:int:sent. Mr. Perry has endea voured to represent what Shakepere might have bees when from 40 to 45 years of age. Ho has copied the high fore head and arched eyebrows of the stone monument, and at the same time avoided the high shoulders, inani ma t e ex pression, and ridiculous smirk which disfigure it. These he has exchanged for the more graceful bearing, the thinner face, marked features, and more thoughtful expression of the portraits, and the result is a figure of the poet carved in oak which may fairly vie with works of sculpture in brans or stone. THE TRUE STORY OF THE ACTOR PALMER'S DEATH.—At length the night came (in July, 1798) when he was to repeat the character of the " Stranger," and then there was no simulation in this mournful aspect. Ho had got through hiepart to the middle of the opening scene of the fourth act. H e h a d answered, " I love her still," to the query of Baron Steinfort (Whitfield) respecting his wife; and then to the question as to his children, he gave the reply, " I left them at a small town hard by ;" but the words, falteringly uttered, had scarcely passed his lips, when ho fell, dead, at Whitfield's feet 1 The sensation which this caused was most painful ; and it was not allayed by those pious persons who saw in his sudden. death an especial judgment launched by Heaven on the head of a man who exercised an unrighteous calling. T o support their theory they invented the story that Palmer was stricken after uttering the quotation, in the first scene of the third set, "There is another and a better world I" These words suited the inferences which they wished to draw. They did rot agree with the facts : but it was the old story, "so much the worse for the feels I The lie yet lives.—" Their Ilia jcsties' Servvnt3," by Dr. Doran.
